Driving along a boring stretch of interstate in Illinois, you start experimenting using the average speed equation you learned i

n class. You drive 29 meters per second for 120s, then 35 meters per second for 300s. Then you entertain yourself by determining your average speed during those time intervals. What is your average speed for the experiment?

The average speed would be 33.29m/s.
The average speed equation is:

Average speed =  \frac{total distance}{total time}

First you will need to solve for the distance you traveled in each scenario. So we can solve this by getting the product of speed and the time traveled. 

Scenario 1:
Speed = 29m/s
Time = 120s
Distance = ?

Distance = (29m/s)(120s)
               = 3,480m

Scenario 2
Speed = 35m/s
Time = 300s
Distance = ? 

Distance = (35m/s)(300s)
               = 10,500m

Now that you have the distance of both, you can solve for your average speed. 

Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}
                                = \frac{3,480m+10,500m}{120s+300s}
                                = \frac{13,980m}{420s}
                                = 33.29m/s

A bird is about 6.26.2 in.​ long, with a​ thin, dark bill and a​ wide, white wing stripe. If the bird can fly 9292 mi with the w
Trava [24]

Answer:

209 mph

Explanation:

V = Speed of bird in still air

v = Speed of wind = 44 mph

Consider the motion of the bird with the wind

D_{1} = distance traveled with the wind = 9292 mi

t_{1} = time taken to travel the distance with wind

Time taken to travel the distance with wind is given as

t_{1} = \frac{D_{1}}{V + v}

t_{1} = \frac{9292}{V + 44}                              eq-1

Consider the motion of the bird with the wind

D_{2} = distance traveled against the wind = 6060 mi

t_{2} = time taken to travel the distance against wind

Time taken to travel the distance against wind is given as

t_{2} = \frac{D_{2}}{V + v}

t_{2} = \frac{6060}{V - 44}                              eq-2

As per the question,

Time taken with the wind = Time taken against the wind

t_{1} = t_{2}

\frac{9292}{V + 44} = \frac{6060}{V - 44}

(9292) (V - 44) = (6060) (V + 44)

9292V - 408848 = 6060V + 266640

3232V = 675488

V = 209 mph

Identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Minchanka [31]
A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.
